How long does it take to complete the welder training program?
The Earlbeck Technical Center provides accelerated courses for welding. Our course can be completed much faster than a typical welding program because we focus strictly on building the skills required to be an employment ready welder. Students completing our intermediate and advanced level courses will graduate with a welding certification.
The length of our program depends on the level of training you would like to complete. We offer daytime and evening classes to accommodate your schedule, which are both equivalent in hours, but due to the shorter class periods in the evening, our night classes take longer to complete.
If taken during the day time, our fundamentals class takes 2 weeks to complete which will provide you with a basic home hobbyist level of experience. Each additional class will take 3-4 weeks. If you are starting a career in welding, we recommend taking a minimum of 3 classes. Of course, with any trade, the more training you receive, the better you are positioned within the job market. To complete all the classes, it would take about 6-8 months.
